Editor and Proprieter ‘The first business will be to elect the Warden for 1938. Three are definâ€" itely in the field: A. E. Ball, reeve of Hanover; H. H.

In the final ballot, however, we look for either McCauley or Ball as the choice. are having sericus difficulty in finaneâ€" ing their rinks, built in the boom days, and â€"now in danger of foreclosâ€" vre. In years of outstanding hockey teams, or in other bygone seasons when skating was a more general sport than at present, the arenas were paying propositions, but now Towns MaAY BUY THEIR RINKS Both Walkerton and Southampton PHONE 56 ONTARIO ARCHIVES : TORONTO THE DURKHAM REVIEW it seems impossible to keep aDOYVC water without large gates in hockey. In Walkerton the Confederation Arena cost some $15,000 to erect and equip: against it only $4000 is now mortgagees are willing to sell it to the town for $2500, writing off the other $1500 of mortgage, if it is taken enterprise. The Times recomment? this as an ideal proposition, @8 it could be used for numerous punposes. A $15,000 rink for $2500 should surely be a bargain for Walkerton ! surely be a bargain for Walkerton ! In Southampton Jack McGowan, a former Durham boy is manager of the Community Arena there and it also is in financial difficulties, ‘The also is in financial difficulties, ‘The Beacon says: ‘"The remedy suggested for Walkerton (that the town take over the building and pay the mort: gage) is about the only «solution pOSâ€", sible to the Community Arena here. | The mortgage is past due and unleu" some better security /s forthcoming, | foreclosure proceedings are inevitable. | Such a course, which would allow any" person to purchase the rink and reâ€" move it, if the buyer 80 desired, is unthinkable. When the structure was built the stock holders advanced the funds to provide a rink for our town, rather than the object of financial gain, and it is hardly likely there would be any objection if arrangeâ€" ments could be made for the town to lt.ake over ownership. Some definite action must be taken soon." EMANCIPATION DAY FOR WOMEN Reading through our weekly exâ€" change list of papers, we note in many instances where women inâ€" terested in civic welfare, are enterâ€" ing the municipal arena. The wonder is they have kept quiet so long. Every town or village has within its conâ€" fines, women whoare particularly giftâ€" ed in knowing the right way out of a thing, and this gumption, â€" call it what you like, â€"is much needed, even at a school meeting. Owen Sound has elected its first lady alderman: Harriston has just elected a lady on the Board of Education, while for some years back, Toronto and Hamâ€" ilton have had women candidates head the poils for the Board of Eduâ€" cation and Controllership, respectiveâ€" ly. Durham to date has no lady repreâ€" sentative on her municipal boards, though we know specific instances where it would have been to the town‘s benefit had there been a member of the fair sex on the board. Rocky Saugeen school trustees have a lady member in Mrs. E. S. McArthur, and S. S. No. 14, Normanby, (Blythe‘s) have recently added Mrs. J, McVean to that school‘s board of trustees.

INCREASE IN AUTO INSURANCE RATE POSSIBLE Sharp increases in auto accidents in Ontario the past twelve months may boost motor insurance rates as high as 25 to 30 per cent. It is revealâ€" ed by an official of the Canadian Unâ€" derwriters Assocition. Insurance rates are based on experiâ€" ence, it was explained, and that experâ€" ience in 1937 pointed to an increase, athought nothing definite had been decided upon as yet. It was merely conjecture, it was said, ed shortly. During eighteen months from Janâ€", uary 1, 1936, to June 30, 1937, a 25 per cent increase in public liability rates would have been necessary to| preserve the ratio between premiums and losses, it was explained, , With accidents increasing, the ratio has been maintained for five years, Therefore the increase in rates is only a matter of timeâ€"very short time, it was indicated. It was expected that this year‘s highway accidents figures would be the highest in Ontario‘s history. Durâ€" ing the first six months of 1937, there were 6,964 accidents, involving injurâ€" ies or property damage above $50.00 each. For the same period period last year, the total was 5,417. It is gratifying to those interested in the teaching profession to learn that, as stated before Inspector Beacon before the West Huron Teachâ€" definitely on the upward trend, says the Goderich Star. Six hundred dolâ€" lars is now regarded as the minimum. This is little enough but many pubâ€" lic school teachers, particularly those in urban schools receive more, and as has been stated, the tendency is toward higher salaries. At the present time employment in general is at a fairly high level, Scotch blood work well together.

The warden each year elected is alâ€" ternately Conservative and Liberal. This year it is the conservatives‘ turn and seven are in the race for Warden. Much better is the system in Grey County, where politics is not considâ€" ered but there is an unwritten law that a rural Reeve or Deputy gets the honor two years in succession, and an urban Reeve every third year. 1938 is the urban year, and three at least are in the field. The qualiâ€" fications upon which the Warden is clected in Grey are the ability of the candidate to fill the office, his length of service in County Council, and the number of years since his municipalâ€" ity has had a warden.
